Great beautiful piece. The morons who run western governments should read it. They might learn something if they were not so cognitively blind and morally injured. Their constituents who march on behalf of free Palestine, on the other hand, are so stupid I doubt even reading this would make a dent in their sanctimony.

Thank you for sharing the amazing story of Magen David Adom! The services they provide are invaluable! They reflect more broadly on Israeli society as a whole. Israeli society values human life. Their enemies do not value human life. Ever heard of the Israeli NGO Save A Child’s Heart? They help children from all over the globe including Palestinian and Arab children. You can see that in the conduct of the IDF. They drop leaflets, do radio broadcasts, do roof knocking, and call off airstrikes if they see civilians especially children, in the area. The IDF has the lowest combatant to civilian killed ratio in the history of warfare in the Gaza War. Israel treated Syrian children who were sick or hurt. Israel sent humanitarian workers to Turkey after the Earthquake there in 2023. Israel has taken in Syrian children and Ukrainian refugees.

Israelis in Tel Aviv protested to allow African asylum seekers to stay in the country and they succeeded in that. Israel rescued the Yemeni and Ethiopian Jewish communities. Israel welcomed the Black Hebrew Israelites and African-American Christians into the country with open arms. Palestinians can become Israeli citizens and more and more of them are doing so. Women, Arabs, blacks, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and animals are treated exceptionally well in Israel. The Jewish state is a world leader in environmentalism. The IDF has helped in rescuing Yahzidi girls from ISIS. They released hundreds of terrorists including Yahya Sinwar to save a captured IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. The Israeli government did whatever it took to bring all the hostages living and dead, home.

This makes me so proud to be a Jew and a supporter of Israel.

Ironically Israel is also the hope of the Arab world.

Israel doesn't HAVE to help others outside their country but they do anyway. I'd bet that they are the only country with an organization that does this lifesaving in the entire region but, of course, Israel is evil according to the conventional anti-semite world. Saving breast milk is a new one to me but this is a decided resource for babies. Thanks Mr. Marcus. Wow!

This makes me so proud .... yet to much of the world we're the bad guys.

Apartheid? BS.. the MDA volunteers represent all the citizens that make up this small but mighty nation. If that doesn't represent the heart and soul of Israel, I don't know what will open people's eyes.

I never fully understood the scope of the work done by MDA both inside and outside of Israel. Thank you for presenting this so beautifully.

It's no wonder that civilizations ultimately collapse after they banish the Jews.
